Shortlist Announced for the 2015 Awards

We are delighted to announce the 2015 shortlist. The shortlist was chosen by a shortlisting panel that reviewed anonymised text of the nominations. Nominations were open to writers themselves and member of the public submitting others’ writing.

“This year, with the support of the National, we’ve really been able push the boundaries of the award and reach out to a wider audience than ever before.

Fundamentally, we want to encourage media that is informed and responsible about VAW reporting, across a variety of formats and platforms.

So we’re delighted that this year, we’ve attracted a record amount of public nominations from diverse sources and we’re really pleased that our shortlist includes a broader range of voices.”

The winners of this year’s awards will be announced on 10 December at the Scottish Parliament.

Shortlist for four main categories

NB: There are two additional categories which will be announced at the ceremony: 1) the Gender Equality Award 2015: Women 50:50 Gender Equality in Political Reporting and 2) the Worst Article / Wooden Spoon award.
